(472) 2nd full paragraph;
In the parenthetical, "(remember however that lightweight processes created with the CLONE_FILES flag share the table that identifies the open files, thus they use the same file objects)", the word "however" obscures the meaning of the statement and implies, by way of the previous statement, that separate "heavyweight" processes can also share file objects, which is not the case.


{578}  Last paragraph;
"The nr_requests field of the request descriptor" should read "The nr_requests field of the request queue descriptor".
